- Sign up for the test series.
- Take regular mock tests
- Analyze your results and work on areas that you are weak in
- DO NOT take up any crash course, they are not very helpful
- Study for not less than 14 hours in a day
- Focus on Logical and Legal questions
- Read explanations to all the answers where you go wrong
- Attempt more questions that are similar to the ones you get incorrect
- Revise difficult concepts daily and not-so-difficult concepts once a week
- Practice with a lot of mock tests and get guidance from someone who has recently appeared for the exam, get insights, and incorporate them in your prep strategy.

How do I prepare for the NICMAR entrance exam if I'm planning to get a top 5 percentage scholarship?
In the NICMAR admission process, maximum weightage is carried by NCAT Exam (150 Marks). It has three sections which are as follows:
Preparation Time: 3 Months
- Quant: R.S Aggarwal or equivalent aptitude books will be best for this section. Some questions are really easy that can be solved in less than a minute. If you want to maximize your score, practice moderate-level questions of other MBA entrance exams. Be thorough with percentages, allegations and mixtures, ratios, time speed, and distance, and like topics as questions are asked from these topics.
- Data Interpretations: There are multiple books available for Bank PO Exams in which such sets are available. You can just go through them. It is sort of a puzzle so you will have fun doing it.
- Verbal and GK: Reading Comprehension is very easy. Just practice a few comprehension available in any competitive exam book. This section also tests your vocabulary as synonyms and antonyms questions will be based on your vocabulary. GK questions are really easy and you’d have read them somewhere even if you are not a news freak. To sum up, if you read the newspaper daily and practice a few comprehensions, synonym antonym, grammar questions, you are more than ready for this section.
In NCAT, speed matters the most. You should solve the easy questions first. Do not waste your time if you are finding any questions tough. Just move on. Most importantly, you should improve your grade in UG. Participate in competitions and earn certification. Nothing much can be done as what you have done earlier matters here.
During the personal interview, brush up on your basics of civil engineering (concrete and building material especially). The basic HR questions will be asked like why do you want to join NICMAR, what are your long-term goals etc. They also test your speaking skills by giving you a topic to speak on. So, you can also practice it as it will be good for you in the longer run.
Can anyone help me to give advice in preparing for ISI Kolkata Entrance exam for Mtech CSE?
There are two examinations through which you can take admission at ISI Kolkata for M.Tech CSE.
- GATE (CS) with a score greater than 720.
- Written test conducted by ISI Kolkata.
The written test conducted is of two types, i.e. Objective type questions will have mathematics paper (11th, 12th, and engineering level mathematics) and Subjective paper will have questions from Mathematics and one domain of choice.
One of my friends got admission to ISI Kolkata a few years back. Here are the reference books that she used for her preparation.
- Tomato - A book for B-stat and B-math by ISI
- Previous papers provided by ISI
- Solve the sample questions of JRF Computer science for more practice.
- Books from Ctanujit classes ( It contains a lot of mock papers)
You don’t need to solve the book completely but make sure that you know which kind of questions are asked by referring to the previous papers and then solve them accordingly.
For the technical section, the questions are very basic and test the fundamental knowledge in the chosen domain. You will see the pattern and important topics from the previous year and prepare for it.
It is important to score as high as you can in the written test as it has a higher weightage.
In interviews, you will face a panel of 12-14 professors from every domain. They often ask questions based on your background and ask to prove the theorems from the technical domain. The interviews differ for each candidate. If your written test goes well, you will see your name on the final list.

How do I prepare for XGMT (XIMB)?
As far as preparation for any exam is concerned, my advice to you would be to know the syllabus as well as the paper pattern. This would help you study better. Knowing the syllabus proves to be quite important as it will give a clear idea regarding what you have to prepare for the exam.
Paper Pattern:
The test consists of various multiple-choice questions which are based on five sections. These sections include:
- Quantitative aptitude
- Data Interpretation and Logical reasoning
- Verbal ability
- Emotional quotient
- General awareness
There is a time limit for every section. A downside to this exam is the fact that you will be given negative marking for every wrong answer you mark.
The pattern and syllabus are similar to those observed in other exams like CAT and XAT. The total duration of the exam is about 120 minutes.
In my opinion, look at the syllabus you have to study and have effective time management as you have in any other exam. This should help you score better and you can look at the questions you are scoring less in to improve your overall grade.
